Snacking notes

Snacking range is actually very wide, we do not limit the snacks to potato chips and other puffed food. There are many snacks that are low in calories, low in fat and high in vitamins and dietary fiber that are good choices.

For example, whole wheat food, whole wheat food contains complex carbohydrates and rich in dietary fiber, these substances as long as you eat a small amount can provide you with rapid energy and can be maintained for a longer period of time, including low-fat whole wheat bread, whole wheat cookies, rye milled into the pancakes, etc., New Year's Eve at home to prepare some, but also the best food to entertain friends and family.

Besides whole grains, fruits and vegetables are also essential snacks to go with. Do not think that vegetables can only be used as a staple food, during the New Year's period at home to prepare more cucumbers, saints fruit, apples, oranges and other fruits and lettuce that can be directly eaten, not only for the New Year's Eve to eat a lot of chicken, duck, fish and meat of the public for a change of taste, but also provide a strong sense of satiety, and fat-free and low-calorie food, but also provides a rich source of vitamins and dietary fiber, so that can be said to be the snacks that we should eat every day.

Secondly, during the New Year's Eve home nuts are also more, such as melon seeds, peanuts, cashews, pistachios and so on, as a kind of snack, nuts are rich in protein, and can make your sense of satiety to keep longer, in favor of reducing the daily dietary intake.

And, nuts contain fats that are unsaturated, which are better for us to absorb. However, be aware that nuts are high in calories, so don't eat too much at one time, a small handful is enough.

Finally, you can also choose some low-fat dairy products such as yogurt or lactobacillus drinks. Dairy products are a source of other high-energy nutrients such as calcium and protein, but dairy products are high in fat.

Fruit-flavored dairy products, on the other hand, are a favorite among girls, but this is usually high in sugar, so consider picking low- or no-sugar dairy products to control calorie intake.
